IN MY last column I men-
tioned how wer hero Major
Arthur Kavanagh of West
Vancouver died a bitter
man, convinced that the
country he fought for was
finished. He detested what it
has become.

His friends will know I am not
exaggerating. But the column was
not about Arthur. It was about the
state of the nation as described in
Richard Gwyn's book Nationalism
Withour Walls.

The major came into it only
because he was one of the millions
who wonder why it has all hap-
pened.

Gwyn is a Toronto Star colum-
nist who has belatedly recognized
that the liberal way has put us on a
slippery slope and that immigration
is destroying us, although he does
not put it that way precisely. But he
states;

“The standard liberal-democrat
solution of ‘let's be tolerant while
looking the other way’ now.
encounters the real-life problem
that the entire population is ... in
fear that the community is going to
be fractured beyond recovery by
some metastatic (cancerous) com-
bination of segregated schools, sep-
arate justice systems, and an
RCMP parading in yarmulkes,
chadors, saris and kilts.”

“The magnitude of immigration

‘to Canada is without equal,” he
. says, and the refugee program is
' nothing more than “a back door
immigration system.”
- In four years, one in five of us
will be non-white and half a centu-
‘ty from now whites will be a
“minority. Yet, says Gwyn, this
-development has never been debat-
edi in Canada.
He’s wrong there. In 1988

_. Cap Club fight
to go to court.

From page 4 :
of: December, the club was given

until the end of January to move.
The club is still there and the club’s

president, Lynn Coules, said :the~

-group intends to stay.

Coules said’ the club will fight
the court action, “It will be a’ good
opportunity for our story jto be

heard,” she said.
Wilson said the club has seven
days to file a defence. The munici-

‘pality will then apply to. have the °

_case heard in court, Wilson expects
the case could be! heard within a
month.

The club will stay put until the
. court decides the issue, Wilson
added.

Earlier, Coules said the club was
trying to locate a 1952 document
that outlines the conditions attached

' to the transfer of the clubhouse to

‘the municipality. |
Club members believe the docu-
ment will state West Vancouver

‘government sold the army huts

other hand

never been asked whether they
wanted such a change.

“Immigration just sort of hap-
pened,” he says.

I disagree. It was designed by
the Liberals and sicked on the
nation while the media stood by,
either too stupid or too cowardly to
sound the alarm. And now it is out
of control.

One party, Reform, nibbles «2
the nettle but is afraid to grasp it.
Preston Manning expels “racists”
from its ranks, ignoring the
groundswell of opinion. In 1993, in
Toronto, popular discontent with
immigration reached 67%.

Opposition is held in check by
the “racism” smear, and immigra-
tion pushers like Don DeVoretz of
Simon Fraser University tell us we
can look forward to great things
when 1997 hits Hong Kong.

“T think the potential is there for
a huge number of applicants, he
was quoted as saying.

Yes. And if you want a job in a
Richmond department store please
learn Cantonese.

We shali‘end up as a nothing
nation, a tess of bickering and
possibly violent groups.

The “tnetastatic” process pros-

| pers almost daily. Typically, the

woman from Quebec (where else?)
who has replaced the dreadful
Sergio Marchi as immigration min-
ister wants to remove the oath of
loyalty to the Queen from the citi-
zenship oath. The more things
change...

Public feeling on that was
shown by the poll conducted by
BCTV.

Over 12,500 people phoned in.
Seventy-one per cent opposed the
plan and only 29% were in favor.

It is the same when immigration
is discussed on radio hot lines.
Callers are massively against it. But
in “post modernist” Canada people
don’t count. What counts is govern-
ment by pressure group.

Many interviewed in the
Toronto poll said they felt like
strangers in their own land, and
Gwyn says they were “expressing
some of the primal feeling of help-
lessness of a people defeated in
war.”

But thanks to the New
McCarthyism there has not even
ueen a battle, let alone a war.

The oath will go, the Crown
itself will be dumped and Ottawa
will throw a party for the ethnics.

As Gwyn admits, Canadian
immigration is for the immigrants,
not for the country. A small indica-
tion of that is that the Christian
prayer in the House of Commnions
has been tossed into the trash bin
“to show sensitivity to non-
Christians.” ;

“Our future may become that of
a kind of Northern Los Angeles,”
states the author.

Not “may.” Will.
